Before going to Pharo 1.0 final, could we please undo the compiler changes that handle the temporary variables? 1) In various code bases I see an increasing number of temp variables that shadow instance variables. This can lead to subtle bugs in various situations that are very hard to debug. Furthermore consider that the code that shadows instance variables in unlikely to load into any other Smalltalk. 2) In various code bases I see an increasing number of unused temporary variables. Instead of just leaving them in there it would be nice if the compiler removed them right away. Point 1 is a *major* annoyance, I already lost hours for that reason. Point 2 is not that important, as it has no intermediate consequences and can be deferred to code critics. I would need to write a new lint rule though. If I knew where these compiler changes were done, I would propose a fix for Pharo 1.0 and 1.1. Any pointers? Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
